He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital in a stable condition.
Detectives conducted an extensive search of the area.
A black BMW SUV was located on fire at Nettletree Street, Casula, a short time later and police are investigating whether it is linked to the shooting.
Another car, a white Subaru, was located burnt-out at Morgan Lane, Strathfield at 1.20am this morning and is also under investigation for links to the shooting.
"The two cars I mentioned are possible links to the incident," Acting Superintendent Robert Danks said.
Three crime scenes have been established and are being forensically examined.
Acting Superintendent Danks said the victim was known to police.
"We believe it is a targeted attack," he said.
"So there were three gunshot wounds on him, so it would appear they were trying to shoot him."
Acting Superintendent Danks added there is one male suspect police are looking for.
Police have appealed for anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage of the incidents to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
